Our products celebrate natural materials, traditional craftsmanship and thoughtful design.

Our Story

It all started with a gift.

Shamika’s mother gifted her a handcrafted copper jug during a trip to India. Back in Germany, she shared it with friends and her close friend Rohit — who immediately saw its potential. Having both grown up with the tradition of drinking water from copper vessels, they shared a deep appreciation for this age-old ritual.

Inspired by their connection to copper, they developed their first prototypes and presented them at a lifestyle fair in Munich. The response exceeded all expectations — and there was no turning back.

As Forrest & Love grew, they partnered with a family-run copper manufacturer in India, building close relationships with skilled artisans and keeping craftsmanship and quality at the heart of the brand.

Despite the challenges of the pandemic, Forrest & Love continued to grow, bringing its distinctive copper lifestyle collection to customers and retail partners across more than 14 countries worldwide.

What began with a single copper jug has grown into a brand built around craftsmanship, tradition and timeless design.

Our Mission

To bring a change

With Forrest & Love, we want to inspire a more thoughtful way of choosing the things we bring into our lives. We celebrate craftsmanship over mass production, timeless traditions over fleeting trends, and pieces designed to last beyond a season. Our creations are made to be chosen with care, cherished and used again and again. We believe true beauty lies in the details — and that beautiful pieces deserve to stay with us for years to come.

To be conscious

For us, being conscious starts with paying attention — to materials, craftsmanship, packaging and the way our products are made. We choose minimal packaging and aim to avoid unnecessary materials and plastic wherever possible. Working closely with skilled artisans, we combine traditional techniques with distinctive design to create everyday pieces that are functional, beautiful and anything but ordinary. For us, it is about making thoughtful choices, one detail at a time.

To do all things we love

Guided by our love for craftsmanship, traditional values and distinctive design, our ethos is simple: to create things that stand out and turn heads. At the same time, we protect the start-up spirit that has shaped Forrest & Love from the beginning. We believe in working smart, keeping meetings short and leaving space for curiosity, creativity and fresh ideas. Above all, we want to remain a company built with joy, passion and a genuine love for what we do.
